The Sloppy Mechanic

After many years of practicing crooked deals for fun and leisure, I’d like to
share my experiences in a rather unorthodox way: by showing you what won’t
work while gradually indicating what could maybe work.

The mechanic’s most important tools

As a card mechanic, your hands become your most important tools. Refining how
they work in conjunction with the deck is a matter of deliberate and extensive
practice. I wrote “maybe work” above because hands come in different sizes
and slightly vary in shape. Given you struggled making progress with second or bottom
dealing, it inevitably follows that you should somewhat deviate from the
classic textbook instructions and start experimenting with what could work for
you better.
